Biden says $7 gas has ‘always been the case’ in Calif. — after paying $60 for taco takeout: ‘Bidenism at its finest’

President Biden brushed off $7-a-gallon gas in California — saying “that’s always been the case” and confusingly linking it to housing — after paying $60 for takeout Thursday at a Los Angeles taco shop.

Biden said without elaboration that “housing” was “the most important thing” for gas prices, which in California actually surged 39% over the past 12 months for an average of $6.20 per gallon, according to AAA.

“The inflation report is out. Have you seen gas prices around here in LA? It’s 7 bucks a gallon almost,” a reporter said after Biden handed a cashier three $20 bills for a $16.45 order of six tacos and two quesadillas. “Well, that’s always been the case here,” Biden replied.

On Wednesday, he incorrectly said his late son Beau “lost his life in Iraq,” and that he visited the Rio Grande to see the need for land preservation, possibly confusing it with the Grand Canyon.

Well, that's an easy mistake to make. They're both in the same part of Delaware.

Critics debate whether Biden, already the oldest-ever US president at 79, either is in mental decline or simply prone to exaggeration.

Or both. Or prone to lying his ass off and never getting called on it.

Biden explained 35 years ago, ”but I’ve never gone around telling people things that aren’t true about me.”

Which is a lie. Got to admit, he's consistent.

Economics — difficult — anyone can easily confuse numbers like 7 and 2.50. Also it’s probably not wise to get economic advice from somebody who tips 43 bucks on a 16 dollar order.

Jill is power and prestige hungry just like the rest. Don’t think for a second she’d pull the plug on the ultimate gravy train trip.
